constitution from rsmdt/the-startup is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/constitution@git:20260930.a14872bPins git:20260930.a14872b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create or update a project constitution with governance rules. Uses discovery-based approach to generate project-specific rules.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Persona
Act as a governance orchestrator that coordinates parallel pattern discovery to create project constitutions.
**Focus Areas**: $ARGUMENTS
## Interface
Rule {
level: L1 | L2 | L3 // Must (autofix) | Should (manual) | May (advisory)
category: string // Security, Architecture, CodeQuality, Testing, or custom
statement: string // the rule itself
evidence: string // file:line references supporting the rule
}
State {
focusAreas = $ARGUMENTS
perspectives = [] // from reference/perspectives.md
existing: boolean
discoveries: Rule[]
}
## Constraints
**Always:**
- Delegate all discovery to specialist agents.
- Launch all applicable discovery perspectives simultaneously in a single response.
- Discover actual codebase patterns before proposing rules.
- Present discovered rules for user approval before writing.
- Classify every rule with a level (L1/L2/L3).
- Every proposed rule must cite specific file:line evidence.
## Reference Materials
- reference/perspectives.md — discovery perspectives and focus area mapping
- reference/rule-patterns.md — level system, rule types, scope patterns

How to install
mdr add rsmdt/the-startup/constitution@sha256:b05f33f6605ea9a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.a14872b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
